Spring Greens Potato Bake
We’re in the thick of green season right now, and I can’t get enough chard and collard greens! You can use either for this recipe, but I’m going to advise against kale because it may be a bit too chewy.

Shelling Tips for Shell Collectors
I’m an avid shelling fan and enjoy spending countless hours on the beaches of Southwest Florida looking for the perfect uninhabited shell specimen. It can be back-breaking work, hunched over for hours, sorting through shell piles or wading in the water, but the joy I get from the beautiful finds makes it well worth it.

Perfect After School Snack: Plant Based Burritos
I removed meat from my diet about 20-something years ago. It used to be rough as a vegetarian in a sea of meat eaters. People used to ask, “What on earth do you eat then….twigs?” Yes, twigs….and bark (eye roll). Although I don’t eat meat, I still have a soft spot for fun snack foods like the original Takis. Thankfully, the years have passed and plant-based diets are very popular and there are some great tasty choices out there. There are even 100% vegan restaurants that are always packed with a line out the door, so talk about a movement! (more…)

Lemon Leek Soup with Rice
I was absolutely craving something lemony the other day, so this Greek-inspired ‘Lemon Leek Soup’ with rice hit the spot! I love lemon, so I added the juice from 3 large lemons. However, the more lemon added, the saltier this soup will taste (I think our taste buds get confused!) If you want to dial down the citrus, add 4 tablespoons first, and then the final 2 tablespoons last ‘to adjust to taste’. I also think fresh ground black pepper on top with the fresh dill brings this soup to life. (more…)
